IMPORTANT: The following instructions will provide a sterndrive unit mounting
location that is suitable for most boats. Best mounting location for a particular boat,
however, can be determined only by testing.
THE AREA WITHIN THIS
PERIMETER TO BE FLAT 1) BELOW 25 M.P.H. (40.24 Km/h): Subtract 13 mm (1/2 in.) from "X" Dimension Shown.
WITHIN 2 mm (1/16 IN.) ON

(A)
OUTSIDE OF TRANSOM. 2) HEAVY DUTY APPLICATIONS: Subtract 25 mm (1 in.) from "X" Dimension Shown.

(A) 3) ABOVE 25 M.P.H. (40.24 Km/h): Use "X" Dimension as shown in table below.

4) ABOVE 50 M.P.H. (80.47 Km/h): "X" Dimension can be increased to improve

performance in some applications, but pulling power (for skiing) will decrease.
During testing, "X" Dimension should be increased 13 mm (1/2 in.) at a time
until desired performance is achieved but in no case should it ever be
increased by more than:

ALPHA ONE: 64 mm (2-1/2 in.) maximum.

SAW CUT OPENING
SQUARE (90°) WITH
BRAVO ONE/THREE: 76 mm (3 in.) maximum.
TRANSOM FACE.
BRAVO TWO: 25 mm (1 in.) maximum.

In ALL sterndrive applicatiohns, extreme care should be taken when raising drive unit
to ensure that water supply does not become aerated. Use clean water inlet hose to
monitor incoming water and monitor engine temperature gauge to ensure engine does
D not overheat.
